Tried animating a box moving in space. This was good practice. Drew a lot of lines lol

ASSIGNMENTS

Here's a quick warm-up exercise for one-point perspective:

  • Start by copying the page I drew.
  • Set it aside and sketch your own boxes in one-point perspective.
  • Draw these boxes in different directions - up, down, left, right, and into the distance.
  • Vary the box sizes and dimensions.

Remember, warmups are meant to be repeated for 5-10 minutes before drawing sessions. Also, don't forget about the warmups from earlier in the course that help you improve your straight lines (Straight Taper, Trace the Ruler, Connect the Dots)

I'm still getting used to the iPad and apple pencil. It was especially hard to draw the bottom of the green box on the right above the horizon since its bottom lines are so close to each other.

Huh cool

Nice work! These look really solid, great freehand lines!

I am feeling inspired to draw a Borg ship! Resistance is futile!

This is neat!!

The perspective isn't a problem, but I still need serious help with my straight lines 😭. I used a ruler a bit here though 👀
@veryartthing
Unsure on if these are drawn correctly. I think they are but I've always struggled with perspective in the past.

Boxes, boxes, boxes. Who knew drawing them could be so much fun. Bonus discovery, using the overhand grip gives me much better control drawing straight lines.

feels good drawing some boxes :)

After lesson 1 and 2 from Draw A Box, this feels strangely familiar. Specially after going through gestures. It's nice to be thinking more "logistically"

Draw a Box coming in handy

Awesome mileage! Don't be shy with extending the lines receding towards the vanishing point even further past the cube itself to help guide you in this warm-up. It helps train and correct your eye/hand when placing the receding edges, and it's especially helpful as you place cubes further and further from the vanishing point.

Here's what I drew for the box warmup.

Love the traffic jam of boxes in bottom left. Your lines are also super nice.

Whoa! Tilting them is a geeat idea. I need to try that next warmup

Awesome progress! You are clearly putting in the work by practicing a lot. Something to improve with these 1 point perspective boxes: the only diagonal lines are lines that are converging to the vanishing point. All other lines need to be fully horizontal (just as the horizon line) OR they are vertical (90 degrees rotated from horizon line). You have some of the boxes on the sides of the pages that seem to twist towards the middle. This will be the case in the next lessons on 2 point perspective. But during this 1 point perspective you don't really have a second vanishing point to converge those lines towards. I have attached examples of some of the lines that don't seem accurate for 1 point perspective. So in 1 point perspective draw all lines either: 1) Towards the vanishing point or 2) Straight horizontal or 3) Straight vertical
